Search Results for ‘buy forum’
The first one is a Hip Hop Forum that is listed for sale at Dnforum and NamePros. The forum stats according to seller are as following: threads: 50,711, posts: 701,104, members: 6,631, which makes it a pretty large forum. The site has a revenue of $400-800 a month coming from Casale, Fastclick and YPN.
It doesn’t seem to get that much traffic, since the seller talks about a potential buyer would make $1,000+ if they bring it up to 2,000+ unqiues a day, so this should be taken into consideration. With a minimum price of $10,000 I think it could be a bit too high, because the site is already cluttered with a lot of advertising. But a forum can be a very good investment if you’re able to grow it.
The second one is a BitTorrent forum, which is for sale at NamePros. According to the stats screenshots provided in the thread it is obvious that the site has a huge amount of traffic. It doesn’t have that many threads or posts, but with 90,000+ registered users I believe that there is reason to call it a large forum. The asking price is $60,000 so it is a sale that needs deeper investigation if you’re a potential buyer.

I just read a thread on DigitalPoint, where some users point out, that some guy that has been bidding up his own auctions using multiply user accounts. Numerous other users has ended up paying more for websites than what they probably had sold for.
It is a shame that such things go on, but it will probably always be like that, and it is really hard to catch such cheaters in time. So it is an obvious example of buyers to consider what they want to pay for given website, and stick to that. Don’t think that you’re missing out on something because there is several other bidders competing. Do your own valuation and do only buy for less than the value you conclude.
If you want to buy sites on auction and if you want the bidding to be real, then it is just because you want to make steal and buy it too cheap. Nothing wrong with that, but then you’d have to expect some people to try and drive up the bidding.

There is an “amazing” deal at DigitalPoint. Someone is selling a website with 4000+ daily uniques and a $10 - $20 daily revenue. It is for sale for just with a BIN at $200 or best offer. That is less than 20 days of revenue, so I think that there has to be a catch, or is this guy just desperate to get $200..?
“When something sounds to good to be true, it probably is”, but I can’t find the exact thing. I have some quick thoughts of potential risks, but I can’t tell for sure.
The risks that came to my mind was:
- Framing other websites isn’t always accepted, and there could be legal threats.
- There could be legal issues with BitTorrent search engines. Even though it “just” uses other search engines.
So would you consider buying such a website, maybe even that one?
Update: It seems like he has just edited the thread, and the BIN is now $300.

There is a tabs website (guitar, bass and drums) for sale at DigitalPoint (and NamePros). The website is hottesttabs.com and it should be receiving 5500+ uniques a day, according to seller.
There are stats and revenue screenshots in the thread, and it all seems pretty good. And I believe there is potential for improving the Adsense revenue from the website.
The bidding starts at $2600 and there is a $6000 BIN. I’m not sure it is worth $6000 since that is around two years of revenue. But of course there is the chance of buying it for less since it is an auction.
But potential buyers should be aware of potential legal issues. I’m not sure that there are any, but I recall some previous cases about lyrics and tabs websites.

The easiest way to start a celeb blog I think is to buy The Celeb Blog which has been put up for sale at SitePoint. The blog absolutely isn’t anything special - not at all - but priced with a BIN of $200 and bid start at $50 it is cheap.
It receives a little bit of traffic, has a little bit of link popularity and everything is set up. So I believe $200 is a cheap buy for anyone who was planning to do such a blog.

Since I’ve been away for some days now I haven’t noticed that it was announced that the blog herald is up for sale at SitePoint. Apparently the supposed sale felt through due to unknown reasons. I wonder what the reason is, but Duncan and Jeremy might not tell us.
It is going to be exciting to see what it sells for, if thea sale goes through this time. The BIN price is set at $50,000, which is 22 grand less than what it was supposed to sell for the first time.
Syntagma has some interesting stats for the blog herald for interested buyers.

I just spotted a webmaster & domain name forum for sale at NamePros. The forum itself seems pretty dead, but according to the statistics provided by the seller, there is a decent amount of traffic.
The forum is RealDN and it has a pagerank 4. In this month there has been around 13,000 uniques who did ~54,000 pageviews.
The seller wants the bidding to start of at $500, but he has a reserve, and mentions that the right offer will buy immediately. The auction will be for 7 days and seller will post a BIN in a couple of days.
This forum could be a good start to create a community, but remember that there is plenty of webmaster and domain forums already.
There are two things to notice. 1. Theres was a huge drop in traffic in November and December according to the stats. 2. There is a lot of links in the bottom, so the link popularity might be obtained through such link exchanges.

The webshop CornerHobbyShop.com is for sale at SitePoint. It is an e-commerce website selling RC Cars - all delivered through a dropshipper.
This is what the seller tells about the traffic: “Traffic is generated through a combination of PPC ads, natural search engine listings and froogle. The site lists better on Yahoo & MSN then Google, currently.”
According to seller there has in average been a monthly revenue of $4180 in October, November and December. But the revenue for December was $7753 with a $2013 net profit.
The webshop is on auction with a starting bid of $5000 and a BIN of $25000.
The sellers comment about what is included: “You are also buying customer list, vendor information, our promise not to compete, and our advertising campaigns. Overture account can be transferred. Adwords, pricegrabber and froogle we will provide you with all keywords/ feeds to continue doing what we are doing.”

PodFly.com is up for sale at SitePoint. The website is a blog about podcasting.
This is a part of the sellers description of the site: “The site empowers its visitors by providing step-by-step podcasting tutorials, insightful articles and interviews, as well as the first global directory of podcasters“.
According to seller there has been in average a $100 monthly revenue. And there is ~30,000 pageviews/month. The website has a pagerank of 5, and has some good backlinks, but technorati only reports 8 sites linking. This is not a problem, but instead shows that they probably haven’t taken full use of the blogosphere.
A buyer should fix the template to show unique titles for each post. The URL / permalinks should also be fixed. I guess that would increase traffic from the search engines. And my last comment for a buyer would be that he should notify other podcasting-bloggers about new articles that he puts up - get some links from the blogosphere.

A new website just went for sale at Sitepoint. It is DropWatch.com which is a service that provides real time stats for expiring domains information for estimating traffic on expired domains.
The website had a revenue of $4193.21 in december 2005, but it is this far the highest revenue obtained. According to the revenue details provided by the seller, there has been a steady increase since january 2005 (the stats don’t go further back). The revenue is generated through member subscriptions, and is based on a monthly fee, so there is a good reason to believe that the revenue will increase further.
The auction starts at $140,000 which is too much, and the BIN is $233,500 which I think is absolutely unreasonable. Imagine what you could build with that much money… But who knows, he might be open for lower offers. Anyway there is definitely a good market for expiring domains, so if this website gets marketed well, there will probably be a very good pay off.
